In reality the sun is a very much bigger space object than the moon or the Earth. But in GWX it looks very nice with the big moon on the night sky.

I've been on many deployments (two different aircraft carriers and a few cruise ships) where the moon seemed to cover a quarter of the ocean. I'm not into astronomy, but there you have it. I know what I've seen regardless.
